Challenge 16 Pink and Black

Happy Thursday Fussy and Fancy Fans. Today we kicking off Challenge 16, Pink and Black. Are you surprised to see us with a new challenge on Thursday? Well, there is a special reason we are kicking off our challenge today. We are collaborating with the Groovy Gurlz from StampInsanity Challenge for a very special cause. StampInsanity, our sponsor this week, is releasing a new digi stamp set called Katie For a Cure. This set available exclusively at at StampInsanity store, costs $10 with proceeds benefiting the Susan G. Komen Foundation. If you buy this set, we'd really love to see your creations with Katie, but you are not required to use the set to play along with us and StampInsanity. All we ask is that you share your new Pink and Black projects.

StampInsanity is generously donating a digi set of the winners choice. Here's a bit of info from Beth about why Katie For A Cure and the fight against breast cancer is important to her:

Katie for a Cure is a very special set I designed to honor my cousin Kate, who earlier this year, at age 33, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Kate is the picture of health and vitality, and her spirit is magical. She has two very young children, and is in the prime of her life – which makes her diagnosis all the more distressing. As only Katie can, she is fighting this disease with the strength and grace of a pure champion. Her story is sadly not unique, but this is my Katie, and I had to do something. It is tragic, but I am sure that my family is not the only one to have this disease repeatedly rearing its head at us. It is my hope that together we will raise a donation that we can all be proud of. And if nothing else, Kate will get a smile from all the beautiful cards that you share with us. Thank you all in advance for your donations and your creations!

Here are this weeks samples from the Fussy and Fancy girls. Be sure to check out the Groovy Gurlz samples and to come back next Friday for the rest of the DT samples.

BEAUTIFUL set!!! Thank you so much for using your talents for such a great cause!! I'm off to purchase that set! My mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer over 2 years ago now so if I can contribute and help out the cancer society, everyone benefits. TOO many people are affected by cancer...a friend of mine just passed away last week from OC and she was only 31...my thoughts and prayers are with your family and your cousin...she will get through with the love and support from you and your family! :D Thanks again for the great set and now I have to go purchase it!! :D I have SO mnay ideas now!! :D

New challenges will be posted on alternate Fridays and whether your style is "fussy and fancy" or "clean and simple" all styles of cards/paper crafts are welcome.

You may combine your entry with as many challenges as you like, but please only enter NEW creations; do not backlink to previous posts.

Post your entry on your blog with a link to our challenge before midnight (GMT) on the Thursday prior to the new challenge and use Mr Linky to link to your projects post - NOT just your blog.

The Fussy and Fancy winners, for our sponsors prize and our new Featured Guest Designer, will be chosen by Random.org and will be announced on the Friday following the start of the new challenge. We will also announce the Fussy and Fancy Top 5 at the same time.

Happy crafting and have fun!
